November 7, 2019 Board of Directors and Management Carson City Culture & Tourism Authority Carson City, Nevada We have audited the financial statements of Carson City Culture & Tourism Authority as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019, and have issued our report thereon dated November 7, 2019. Professional standards require that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit. Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit As communicated in our engagement letter dated March 1, 2019, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to form and express an opinion(s) about whether the financial statements that have been prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities. Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of Carson City Culture & Tourism Authority solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control. We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you. Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated to you. Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, our firm, and our network firms have complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.

Qualitative Aspects of the Entity’s Significant Accounting Practices Significant Accounting Policies Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by Carson City Culture & Tourism Authority is included in Note 1 to the financial statements. There have been no initial selection of accounting policies and no changes in significant accounting policies or their application during 2019. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. Significant Accounting Estimates Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from management’s current judgments. The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements are the estimates relating to pension and OPEB information and the related assets and liabilities. Management’s estimate of the pension and OPEB information is based on the actuarial report and the Carson City’s allocation worksheets. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the pension information and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units. Financial Statement Disclosures Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting Carson City Culture & Tourism Authority’s financial statements relate to: pension and OPEB information. Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit. Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable opinion unit.

The following misstatements that we identified as a result of our audit procedures were brought to the attention of, and corrected by, management:

• Record impact of prior year audit entries to the current year - $53,569 • Reclassify interest payment on V&T Bond payment to principal - $20,378 • Record prior period adjustment for 1% Culture and Arts payment to Carson City that was

misposted to professional services - $36,645 • Reclassified and grossed up the room tax revenue and report the taxes in the capital

project funds - $820,647 The following adjustments were proposed to report the changes for the government-wide financial statements:

• Record opening balance differences for the government-wide statements - $1,283,648 • Record change in accrued vacation - $35,874 • Record depreciation expense - $6,882 • Report change in pension accounts: deferred outflows, deferred inflows and net pension

liability - $6,114 • Report change in OPEB accounts: deferred outflows, deferred inflows and net OPEB liability -

$22,948 Disagreements with Management For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to Carson City Culture & Tourism Authority’s financial statements or the auditor’s report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit. Representations Requested from Management We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the attached letter dated November 7, 2019. Management’s Consultations with Other Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters. Existence of a Material Misstatement that Affects the Financial Statements of a Prior Period in Which There Was a Predecessor Auditor We have identified the existence of a material misstatement that affects the prior period financial statements on which the predecessor auditor had previously reported without modification. The error related to a payment that was due to Carson City for the 1% Culture and Arts room taxes that was misposted to professional services and due to the misposting a liability was recorded incorrectly in the amount of $36,645. Modification of the Auditor’s Report We have modified the report to include an emphasis of a matter due to the material prior period adjustment which is discussed above.

Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues In the normal course of our professional association with Carson City Culture & Tourism Authority, we generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, operating and regulatory conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the Board of Directors Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority Carson City, Nevada Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and the fund information of Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority (fka Carson City Visitors Bureau) (Authority) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and the fund information of the Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority, as of June 30, 2019, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Restatement of Prior Year Financial Statements The financial statements of Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority as of and for the year ended June 30, 2018, were audited by Kohn & Company LLP, who joined Eide Bailly LLP on December 3, 2018, and whose report dated November 5, 2018, expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements. As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, an error resulting in an overstatement to an intergovernmental payable and the related expenses as of June 30, 2018, was discovered by management during the year. Accordingly, the 2018 financial statements have been restated to correct this error. Kohn & Company LLP reported on the 2018 financial statements before the restatement. As part of our audit of the 2019 financial statements, we also audited the adjustment described in Note 12 that was applied to restate the 2018 summarized comparative financial statements. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review or apply any procedures to the 2018 financial statements of the Company other than with respect to these adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2018 financial statements as a whole. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, general fund budgetary comparison information, pension information and other postemployment benefit information on pages 4-6, 30, 31, and 32, respectively, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required management discussion and analysis, pension information and other postemployment benefit information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

The general fund budgetary comparison information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the general fund budgetary comparison information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements. The capital project funds budget to actual statements on pages 33 and 34 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The individual fund financial statements are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the individual fund budget to actual statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 7, 2019, on our consideration of the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority Management’s Discussion and Analysis

June 30, 2019

The Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority (fka Carson City Visitors Bureau) (Authority) provides this discussion and analysis of the Authority’s Component Unit Financial Report for readers of the Authority’s financial statements. This narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities is for the year ended June 30, 2019. Financial Highlights

♦ The assets and deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows at the close of the current fiscal

year by $396,315. There is a deficit in the unrestricted net position of $462,324. ♦ The Authority’s total net position increased by $16,710 during the current year. Capital assets, a component

of total net position, decreased by $6,882. ♦ At the end of the current fiscal year, the Authority’s governmental funds reported combined total ending fund

balances of $1,739,553 an increase of $76,301 in comparison with the prior year. Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority‘s financial statements. The Authority’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements; 2) fund financial statements; and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Authority’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the Authority’s assets, deferred outflows, liabilities and deferred inflows, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Authority is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Thus, revenue and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Authority, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The Authority has only governmental funds. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. They focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirement. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the Authority’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenue, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The Authority maintains three governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenue, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general fund and the two capital project funds, both of which are restricted for capital projects or bond payments on the V&T Bonds issued by Carson City. 2% of the transient lodging tax goes into these funds. The Authority adopts annual appropriated budgets for its funds. Budgetary comparison statements have been provided for these funds to demonstrate compliance with the budget. Notes to financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.

Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority

Management’s Discussion and Analysis June 30, 2019

General Fund Budgetary Highlights Transient lodging taxes are the general fund’s primary sources of revenue (94%). In the current year, room tax revenue in the general fund, including the transfer in from the V&T Capital Projects fund of 2% for marketing, increased $3,983 or 0.3%. Total expenditures were less than the budget by $170,269 primarily related to less salaries and benefits and intergovernmental expenses. Capital Asset and Debt Administration Capital Assets. At year-end, the Authority’s investment in capital assets from its governmental activities totaled $60,241. Capital assets consist of the marketing van, revamped web site, tenant improvements, office equipment, a trailer, and signs. Long Term Debt. Although the Authority does not reflect any bond debt on its financial statements, it is committed to utilize 2% of the transient lodging taxes it collects to pay Carson City to service the debt that was incurred to build the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. Economic Factors Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority (CTA) will continue to see mid-single digit growth in the coming FY19-20 from a direct visitor spending perspective. With the CTA's re-branding/imaging of the visitor experience, the agency expects to see a different type of visitor that will engage with the arts/culture, history and outdoor recreation opportunities in Carson City. This new visitor will lend itself to higher per visit spending. This is evident by recent ADR and REVPAR monthly increases which are expected to continue into and through FY20. Add to this a new mid-tier extended-stay property that recently opened, with an upscale extended-stay property expected to come online in 2020, and one can see the lodging component of the tourism industry is recognizing the increase in business travelers and the impact of the hospital on the north end of town. The CTA is looking to diversify within the sports world by actively bringing in new softball, baseball and basketball events with new event promoters. In addition, the agency is diving back into the motorcoach/tour bus business in hopes of bringing tour groups to Carson City during the week, to experience the incredible history/heritage and arts/culture facilities and product that is readily available. These factors will all contribute to a healthy and diverse tourism economy moving forward with accompanying TOT growth. Requests for Information This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of the Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority finances for all those with an interest. Questions concerning any of the information provided in this report or requests for additional information should be addressed to the Executive Director, Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority, 716 North Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada 89701.

Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2019 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority’s (Authority) financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the standard-setting body for governmental accounting and financial reporting. The GASB periodically updates its codification of the existing Governmental and Financial Reporting Standards which, along with subsequent GASB pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations), constitutes GAAP for governmental units. Reporting Entity The financial statements present the financial position and results of operations of those funds under the direct jurisdiction of the Board of Directors of the Authority. The Authority is not considered to be financially accountable for any other governmental entity since no other entities are considered to be controlled by or dependent on the Authority. Control or dependence is determined on the basis of budget adoption, funding and appointment of the respective governing board. The Authority 's financial statements are included in the general-purpose financial statements of Carson City. The Authority is independent in its management and operations but significantly influenced by Carson City through its funding. Therefore, the Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority is considered a component unit of Carson City for financial reporting purposes. Basic Financial Statements – Government-Wide Statements The basic financial statements include both government-wide and fund financial information. The government-wide financial statements are reflected on a full accrual, economic resource basis which recognizes all long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. Basic Financial Statements - Fund Accounting The financial transactions of the Authority are reported in the general fund, capital projects fund, and enterprise fund. The operations of the funds are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenue and expenditures. The Authority’s funds are governmental funds. Governmental funds are accounted for on a current financial resources measurement focus. This means that only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheets. The recorded fund balance (net current assets) is considered a measure of “available spendable resources”. Operating statements for governmental funds present increases (revenue and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of “available spendable resources” during a period. Basis of Accounting The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2019 The Authority maintains its accounting records for its governmental fund types on the modified accrual basis of accounting. This method provides for recognizing expenditures at the time liabilities are incurred, while revenue is recorded when measurable and available to finance expenditures of the fiscal period. Available is defined as being due and collected within the current period or within 60 days after fiscal year end. When revenue is due, but will not be collected within 60 days, the receivable is recorded and an offsetting deferred revenue account is established. GASB Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements, requires the Board to apply all applicable GASB pronouncements and, unless they conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statements and Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board Opinions, and Accounting Research Bulletins issued on or before November 30, 1989. Accordingly, the Authority has not applied FASB pronouncements issued after that date. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting The Authority adheres to the Local Government Act incorporated within the Statutes of the State of Nevada, which includes the following major procedures to establish the budgetary data that is reflected in these financial statements:

• On or before April 15, the members of the Board of the Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority file a tentative budget with the Nevada Department of Taxation for all funds.

• Public hearings on the tentative budget are held on the third Thursday in May. • Prior to June 1, at a public hearing, the Board indicates changes, if any, to be made to the tentative budget

and adopts a final budget by the favorable vote of a majority of the members of the Board. • Formal budgetary integration in the financial records for all funds is employed to enhance management

control during the year. • Budgets for all funds are adopted on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles

(GAAP). Appropriations lapse at year end. • Budget amounts within funds, and between funds, may be transferred if amounts do not exceed the

amounts originally budgeted. Such transfers are to be approved by the Board, depending on established criteria. Budget augmentations in excess of original budgetary amounts may not be made without public notice and the prior approval of the Board.

In accordance with State Statute, actual expenditures may not exceed budgeted appropriations in the government function categories of the General Fund, except as specifically permitted in NRS 354.626. An encumbrance system is not utilized by the Authority.

Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2019 Cash Cash balances are invested as permitted by law. Investments are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. Pursuant to NRS 355.170 and 355.167, the Authority may only invest in the following types of securities:

• Securities of the United States Treasury, United States Postal Service, or the Federal National Mortgage Association maturing within ten years from the date of purchase.

• Negotiable certificates of deposit from commercial banks and insured savings and loan associations within the State of Nevada.

• Certain securities issued by local governments of the State of Nevada. Grants and Lodging Taxes Receivable No allowances for doubtful accounts have been established since management does not anticipate any material collection loss with respect to the balances shown as receivables. Capital Assets Capital assets are reported in the governmental activities column in the government-wide financial statements. Assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost. Donated assets are recorded at their estimated fair market value on the date of donation. The Authority defines capital assets as assets with a unit cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. For purposes of the government-wide financial statements, depreciation of capital assets is recorded as an expense in the Statement of Activities, with accumulated depreciation reflected in the Statement of Net Position. Depreciation is provided over the assets useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation, with one-half of a year’s depreciation taken in the year of acquisition and one-half in the final year. The Authority’s capital assets consist of the building, improvements to the building, equipment, furniture and equipment which have useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years. In the fund financial statements, capital assets used in operations are accounted for as capital outlay expenditures of the governmental fund upon acquisition. Compensated Absences Compensated absences are accounted for in accordance with GASB Statement No. 16, Accounting for Compensated Absences, which requires that a liability for compensated absences relating to services already rendered and that are not contingent on a specified event be accounted for in the period those services are rendered or those events take place. Governmental funds report compensated absences only if they have matured as a result of employee resignations, terminations and retirements. The fund liability is defined as those benefits actually paid or accrued as a result of employees who have terminated employment by June 30, 2019. The total accrued compensated absences are reported on the Statement of Net Position.

Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2019 The Authority's policy provides for payment of accrued vacation time upon termination of employment if employed for six months or more, and payment of one-third of sick leave upon termination of employment if employed ten years or more. Accrued vacation time is limited to a maximum of 300 hours. Accrued sick leave is limited to 240 hours. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources In addition to assets, a separate section is reported for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The changes in proportion and differences between employer contributions and the proportionate share of contributions as well as contributions made after the measurement period for pensions qualify for reporting in this category. In addition to liabilities, a separate section is reported for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. Differences between expected and actual experience and between projected and actual investment earnings on pension plan investments and other postemployment benefits qualify for reporting in this category. Equity Classifications In the government-wide financial statements, equity is classified as net position and displayed in three components:

• Net invested in capital assets – consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and any related debt

• Restricted net position – consists of net position with constraints placed on their use either by (1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments; or (2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

• Unrestricted net position – net position that is neither classified as “invested in capital assets” nor as “restricted.”

In the governmental fund financial statements, fund balances are classified as follows:

• Nonspendable - represents amounts that are either not in a spendable form or are legally or contractually required to remain intact. The Authority includes fund balances that have been prepaid for expenses in this category.

• Restricted – represents amounts which can be spent only for specific purposes because of state or federal laws, or externally imposed conditions. Restricted funds include amounts legally restricted for expenditure in connection with the V&T project and capital improvement funds.

June 30, 2019

• Committed – represents amounts which can be used only for specific purposes determined by the members of the governing Board’s formal action through a resolution or action. Committed funds include amounts set aside for operating reserves under formal action.

• Assigned - represents amounts that are intended by the Authority for specific purposes but do not require action by the governing Board. The Authority has assigned balances that represent amounts for the subsequent year’s expenditures based upon the approved budget.

• Unassigned – represents all amounts not included in spendable classifications.

The Authority’s policy is to first apply expenditures against non-spendable fund balances and then unassigned balances. On an annual basis assigned fund balances are determined based upon available resources. Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees' Retirement System of Nevada (PERS) and additions to/deductions from PERS's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by PERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Other Post-Employment Benefits The Authority recognizes a long-term liability and deferred inflows of resources based upon an actuarial determination and information provided by the plan fiduciary. Compliance with Laws and Regulations The Authority conformed to all significant statutory constraints on its financial administration. Comparative Data Comparative data shown for the prior year has been extracted from the 2017-2018 financial statements. It has been provided to add comparability but is not considered a full disclosure of transactions for 2017-2018. Such information can only be obtained by referring to the audit report for that year. Subsequent Events Subsequent events have been evaluated through November 7, 2019, which represents the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Subsequent events after that date have not been evaluated. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates based on management’s knowledge and experience. Due to their prospective nature, actual results could differ from those estimates.

As part of the 11% collected, the Authority collects a 1% tax to be used to promote arts and culture in the area. Effective July 1, 2018, this 1% tax will be collected and remitted to Carson City who has taken over the expenditures relating to the services provided. The following is a reconciliation of gross collections and remittances to the City and State: Gross transient lodging tax 2,257,004$ State remittance (84,752) Carson City remittance (38,505)

Note 6 - Leases, Commitments, and Contingencies Beginning in July 2003, the Authority placed funds in the Park Bond Capital Project Fund and transferred 2% of the room tax revenue remitted to them to the fund to service the Carson City Park Bond. The final payment for this bond was made in February 2011. Commencing during the year ended June 30, 2012, the taxes deposited into this fund are being used to cover principal and interest payments on the bonds for the reconstruction of the V & T Railroad described below. In October 2011, a Capital Project Fund was established by resolution in order to receive the 2% room tax formerly deposited in the Park Bond Capital Project Fund. In November 2003, Carson City issued $4,150,000 in General Obligation (Limited Tax) bonds for the reconstruction of the V & T Railroad. The Authority transfers 2% of room tax revenues to this fund to service the debt on these bonds. Principal and interest is remitted to Carson City when the payments are due. In addition, the Authority is committed to pay an additional $100,000 to Carson City for payments due to cover an extra portion of the $15,000,000 V&T Bond payments, if necessary.

June 30, 2019 collections designated for the bond payment, the Authority is obligated to increase its allocation of room taxes by 1% to 3% of room tax revenue. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Authority approved reducing the total 4% that was paid into the two capital project fund accounts to 2% in total and the utilization of the remaining 2% to be used for annual marketing costs. The capital projects fund receives the 2% transient lodging taxes and utilizes these funds to pay the bond discussed above. The V&T Capital Project Fund balance, plus annual interest, is being maintained to be utilized as necessary for future bond payments. During the year ended June 30, 2014, the Authority entered into a cooperative agreement with Carson City to pay ¾% of the annual tax revenue to support the sports tournament program, and for accounting, human resource and IT services. During the year ended June 30, 2017, the payment increased to 1% with legal services being added as an administrative expense. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the Authority incurred expenditures to the City of $205,341 for administrative services and the cooperative agreement The Authority is self-insured under the reimbursement method for unemployment insurance. This requires that the Authority pay any liability as unemployment insurance as it is incurred rather than at a set annual rate. The Authority’s policy regarding unemployment liability is to expense any liability incurred when the amount is received as a bill from the State of Nevada. The potential liability is not able to be determined as there are multiple factors, some of which would be unknown. The Authority has not set aside any funds for any future potential liability. During the year ended June 30, 2019, the Authority did not incur unemployment expenses. The Authority is committed under signed agreements on the above and other special event projects to expend $270,855 during the year ended June 30, 2020. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Authority entered into a leasing arrangement for downtown office space.

The Authority leases a copier through April 30, 2022 at a monthly rate of $3,236. The copier will print all tickets and brochures that are needed to promote tourism in Carson City. Future maturities due on the above leases are as follows for the years ended June 30:

The amount of compensated absences which will be due within one year has not been determined and is not considered material. Note 8 - Pensions General Information About the Pension Plan Plan Description PERS (System) administers a cost-sharing, multiple-employer, defined benefit public employees' retirement system which includes both Regular and Police/Fire members. The System was established by the Nevada Legislature in 1947, effective July 1, 1948. The System is administered to provide a reasonable base income to qualified employees who have been employed by a public employer and whose earnings capacities have been removed or substantially impaired by age or disability. Benefits Provided

• Benefits, as required by the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS or statute), are determined by the number of years of accredited service at time of retirement and the member's highest average compensation in any 36 consecutive months with special provisions for members entering the System on or after January 1, 2010 and for members entering the System on or after July 1, 2015. Benefit payments to which participants or their beneficiaries may be entitled under the plan include pension benefits, disability benefits, and survivor benefits.

• Monthly benefit allowances for members are computed as 2.5% of average compensation for each accredited year of service prior to July 1, 2001. For service earned on and after July 1, 2001, this multiplier is 2.67% of average compensation. For members entering the System on or after January 1, 2010, there is a 2.5% service time factor and for regular members entering the System on or after July 1, 2015, there is a 2.25% multiplier. The System offers several alternatives to the unmodified service retirement allowance which, in general, allow the retired employee to accept a reduced service retirement allowance payable monthly during his or her lifetime and various optional monthly payments to a named beneficiary after his or her death.

• Post-retirement increases are provided by authority of NRS 286.575 – 286.579.

• The System receives an actuarial valuation on an annual basis indicating the contribution rates required to fund the System on an actuarial reserve basis. Contributions actually made are in accordance with the required rates established by the Nevada Legislature. These statutory rates are increased/decreased pursuant to NRS 286.421 and 286.450.

• The actuary funding method used is the Entry Age Normal Cost Method. It is intended to meet the funding objective and result in a relatively level long-term contributions requirement as a percentage of salary.

• For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, the Statutory Employer/employee matching rate was 14.50% each year Regular employees. The Employer-pay contribution (EPC) rate was 28.00% for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 for Regular employees.

June 30, 2019 Actuarial Assumptions The System's net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2018, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The total pension liability was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement: Inflation rate 2.75% (2.75% for the June 30, 2017 valuation date)Payroll growth 5.00%, including inflationInvestment rate of return 7.50% (7.50% for the June 30, 2017 valuation date)Productivity pay increate 0.50% (0.50% for the June 30, 2017 valuation date)Projected salary increase Regular: 4.25% to 9.15%, depending on service

(4.25% to 9.15% for the June 30, 2017 valuation date)Rates include inflation and productivity increases

Consumer price index 2.75% (2.75% for the June 30, 2017 valuation date)Other assumptions Same as those used in the June 30, 2017 funding Actuarial valuation

Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2018 valuation were based on the results of the experience review completed in 2019. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50% as of June 30, 2018 and 2017. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee and employer contributions will be made at the rate specified in statute. Based on that assumption, the pension plan's fiduciary net position at June 30, 2018, was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability as of June 30, 2018 and 2017. Investment Policy The System's policies which determine the investment portfolio target asset allocation are established by the PERS Retirement Board. The asset allocation is reviewed annually and is designed to meet the future risk and return needs of the System. The following was the PERS Retirement Board adopted policy target asset allocation as of June 30, 2018:

TargetAllocation

Domestic Equity 42% 6.60%International Equity 18% 7.37%Domestic Fixed Income 30% 36.60%Real Estate 5% 4.94%Private Equity 5% 13.41%

Asset Class Long-Term Geometric Expected Real Rate of Return*

*As of June 30, 2018, PERS' long-term inflation assumption was 2.75%.

Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements

Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards

To the Board of Directors Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority Carson City, Nevada We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities and the fund information of Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority (Authority), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 7, 2019. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies.

Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. We identified a deficiency in internal control, described in the schedule of findings as 2019-001. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority’s Response to Finding The Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority’s response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses. The Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority’s response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Auditors’ Comments To the Board of Directors Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority Carson City, Nevada In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the Authority failed to comply with the specific requirements of Nevada Revised Statutes cited below. However, our audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of noncompliance. Accordingly, had we performed additional procedures, other matters may have come to our attention regarding the Authority’s noncompliance with the requirements of Nevada Revised Statutes cited below, insofar as they relate to accounting matters. Current Year Statute Compliance The required disclosure on compliance with the Nevada Revised Statutes and the Nevada Administrative Code is contained in Note 2 to the financial statements. Progress on Prior Year Statute Compliance The Authority monitored all significant constraints on its financial administration during the year ended June 30, 2018 except that expenditures exceed appropriations in the general fund under the intergovernmental function by $54,017. Current Year Recommendations No material weaknesses or significant deficiencies reported. Progress on Prior Year Recommendations No material weaknesses or significant deficiencies were noted.

Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority Schedule of Findings and Responses

Year Ended June 30, 2019 2019-001: Prior Period Adjustment Material Weakness Condition: During the course of our engagement, we proposed a material audit adjustment to

restate opening fund balance due to an error in the overstatement of intergovernmental payables of $36,645 at June 30, 2018. If the adjustment was not recorded, it would have resulted in a material misstatement of the Authority’s financial statements. The need for this adjustment indicates that the Authority’s interim financial information is not materially correct, which may affect management decisions made during the course of the year.

Criteria: Internal controls should be in place to provide reasonable assurance that protects the

Authority from errors or omissions. Cause: The Authority is not reviewing and monitoring the financial information as reflected in

the accounting records. Effect: Errors or omissions could occur without being identified in the normal course of

operations. Recommendation: The Authority should implement a policy that includes review of the financial

information as recorded in the records and a review of expenses incurred to reduce the risk of errors or omissions.

View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Chris Kipp, Operations Manager, will review the general ledger transactions to ensure

proper classifications.
